"Can you give some actual examples?"The fact ASRC is even present in digital playback is the prime example.
And the sheer denial without explanation, going on all the time. It's maddening. Call me whacked all you want.
I'm putting stuff up on public record, and putting my real name on the line. I'd be thrilled to one day have all of you in the room, with nothing more than a huge white board. People are treating this like it's rocket science, and it need not be.
There was once a famous line- "If you cannot dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bull...." The statement holds so true, people can no longer distinguish one from the other. And that includes a lot of audio designers.
The bottom line is that for 20 years, the sound of digital mostly sucked. And it sucks now. And too many people would rather blame the end user for their delusions of "golden ears" than come to the reality that designs are not nearly as good as they've claimed.
Too much blind belief and consensus, not enough investigation. This is at the very core of why I think the audio industry is corrupt.
